THE sTALWAsT CANDIDATE.
Sherman the Choice for President--Signif-
canoe of His Southern Trip.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Senator Sher-
man proposes starting on his Southern
trip this afternoon. It is under
stood among his close friends that Mr..
Sherman contemplates combining bust
ness with pleasure on this trip. The
initial conference held here during this
winter by prominent Republicans of the
stalwart faith, with reference to Repub-
ican prospects in the next Presidential
election, have resulted in a substantial
concurrence in the opinion that Mr..
Sherman is by far the best available
Presidential timber for the Republican
party. Pennsylvania has always been
looked upon as Blaine stronghold, but
it is said that the Cameron influence viii
from now be exerted to secure q Sher-
man delegation to the next Republican
National Convention. New York is also
counted upon for Sherman, and in the
Northwest exp -Postmaster-GeneralEa Eatton
and the clique with which he trains are
to look out for Sherman delegates. Of
course Mr.. Sherman can have no difficult
ty in securing the Ohio delegation.
When Mr.. Sherman was candidate for
the Presidential nomination of 1880, he
used his power as Secretary of the
Treasury to "work" the South, and, as
will be remembered, he obtained quite
respectable following in that section. He
had no scruples in appealing to Southern
collectors of customs and of internal
revenue to help him out. It is among
the traditions OF the Treasury Depart
ment that upon one occasion he hinted
to Mr.. John L. Thomas, the collector of
customs at Baltimore, that Sherman
delegation from Maryland to the Repub-
ican convention would be very accepta-
ble, but that Mr.. Thomas was too much
tinctured with Blaineism to take kindly
to the suggestion. Now it is said that
Mr.. Sherman and his friends are of the
belief that the seed sown for him in the
South in 1880 fell upon good ground,
and that this is the time to follow up the
good work. It is reported, therefore,
that on his Southern trip Mr.. Sherman
will take the occasion to lay his wires
for Southern delegates to the conYen-
ton Of next year. So far as Virginia is
concerned, it is said that Gen. Malone
is thoroughly in sympathy with the
Sherman movement, and will use his in
fuence for Sherman delegation. Col.
Casaday, the sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate, and who has long been one of
the most prominent managers and work
ers in the Republican party of North
Carolina, has long been devoted to the
political fortunes of 0Ir. Sherman, and
he is relied upon to secure the North
Carolina delegation. These all think
that Mr.. Sherman will strengthen bis
chances by going South and mixing in
with the people, so that other Repubi-
can aspirants for the nomination viii
watch Mr.. Sherman's Southern tour
with considerable interest, if not anxiety.

From the above We may draw the fol-
lowing conclusion: That in any given
locality the average temperature for the
month OF March IS 50 degrees or above,
corn may be safely planted duling that
month: if 1t is lower than - degrees 1t
would be linwisa 70 put the seed in the
ground Now, if Il farmer has 4 ther-
monleter {as every one shoaldD and
records the highest and lowest tempera-
lures Of the air each day (say at two
O'Clock and at sunrise), and strikes an
average OF al, he can approximate quite
closely the average temperature of the
upper layer of the surface soil. In many
localities the average temperatures OF
the different months can be learned from
observations already made by signal
officers and other observers. True, expe-
rience has pretty well settled about the
right time in each locality when a par
ticulaI crop should be planted, btlt sea-
sons vary a good deal. and the average
tsra aperture CT the first or second half
of March may vary taree or four de-
srecs. An invariable date for planting
cannot be fixed, and instead Of the hap
hazard way 81 guessing that ''it will do
to plant corn, it would be better to
learn definitely and accurately that the
soil IaS warm enough to bring it up
promptly. Farmers use trees as ther-
momctay5-pl plant corn, they say, when
the "dogvood blossoms, CT VIXEN the
poplar leaf is as large as . squirrel S
car. ;" These arc useful signs, but Why
not use the thermometer itself and de-
! termine tie matter still more definitely.
Gardeners and florists regulate the tenn
! perat,ra Of their greenhouses by ther-
mometers; why should rot a farmer use
the salaa instrument, IN his calling,
wherever it is practicable? He may not
